I like the default start up page because I often use the icons like "restore", but i also want my other favorite websites to be there in new tabs on start up too. Learnt how to have multiple tabs open on startup from this answered question "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/969810" but Mozilla's default start up page doesn't have a URL so I can't have it AND other tabs. Is there a fix to this?

You can use these special pages for the new tab page or use the URL of a web page.

  • the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
  • the default home page is about:home
  • for a blank page you can use about:blank

See the about:about page for all built-in about pages.

You can pin the tab with the about:preferences page to prevent including about:preferences to the home page setting if you want to use this button. To set a single page as the home page you can drag the globe/padlock to the toolbar Home button.
